Marketing Plan:
Scenario Women on the Go start-up company is explained below. (Note that this description is basic, and you will need to be creative and develop the business idea/model for the scenario.)
Scenario:
Women on the Go is a startup company targeted at women who need assistance with the selection and purchasing of their clothing/accessories.
This service is aimed at the more affluent customer who simply does not have the time and/or knowledge to dress to the business or social setting that they are expected to fulfill. Initial research will provide insight into the types of services that this particular target market would be interested in.
This assignment submission should consist of the items listed below.
Product
This section of the marketing plan should include a description of the products and services offered to the consumer. Remember that this product section should also identify services, warranties, and installation features. Additionally, brand, logo, and other identifying characteristics should be discussed in this section as they encompass part of the product offering.
Examine whether your company has a competitive advantage relative to its product offering (i.e., only address the product here).
Place
This section of the marketing plan should explain the entire distribution channel (see Unit VII Lesson).
As a reminder, this is the flow of the product from the manufacturer or creator of the product/service to the final consumer (the entire process-not just the retailer at the end of the process). Describe a physical facility associated with your company.
This can be a unique manufacturing or distribution center, retailer, or even a merchandising technique. The idea here is to describe what it looks like to the consumer and the value that this atmosphere brings to the buying experience.
Examine whether your company has a competitive advantage relative to its place offering (i.e., only address place or distribution here).
Price
This section of the marketing plan should describe the pricing strategies used by your company. Include theoretical aspects of pricing (see Unit VII Lesson) in your discussion here.
Examine whether your company has a competitive advantage relative to its pricing strategies (i.e., only address pricing here).
Promotion
This section of the marketing plan should address the promotional methods used by your company. This should not only include social media/Internet marketing but also traditional marketing and advertising used (e.g., personal selling, advertising, sales promotion, publicity).
Examine whether your company has a competitive advantage relative to its promotional strategies (i.e., only address promotion here).
